Hrm, I clicked the "dark is fine but" one, but i have nothing against the navigation.

HOWEVER. Your right hand side nav flips to the bottom at some widths (you need some min-width CSS in there).

Just to make it clear, the black theme and mono-spaced type in the comments just seemed to say 'hacker site' to me. I didn't think this was the overall first impression you wanted to give though.

On the navigation, I missed the 'archives' link on the first view and the faded out 'most popular' at the bottom of the page is pretty easy to miss. I was mainly suggesting something to get them to stand out more.

Anyway, thank you for allowing me to review your site and for the link back.

Aaron, are you talking about the "about","tagged", "most popular", ... boxes? Those are supposed to float down on lower resolutions.

But maybe that is the problem as the information in those boxes might be considered as too important to float below the content?

Interesting I never though of getting my site reviewed. I am a bit afraid of the result. It's a lack of self-confidence and the trust in my articles ;)

Like your Dark theme, and navigation is okay, I use the same style of nav. ;)

I vote for "dark is fine but"...
Why ?... because i think that if somebody as the answer for better navigation on a rich and full of good ideas and articles website ... everybody will say 'google'... but not ajax... bad answer...

Yep i think that's because, your site is interesting that navigation sucks... because time to time we find a new "hidden" treasure on it, and so we could thing why navigation is not better... :!) that's my opinion.... hope community will understand this bad English (i am trying to improve it !)

I have voted "It's perfect as it is!", but I'd like to explain my vote...

The theme used on splitbrain.org is dark blue/black background with blue, gray and white text. This may give the site a little bit of a goth or hacker feel […]
Regarding that "goth or hacker" is not meant as a bad type: Intended or not, I like the theme as it as. Althought I do not condider myself a goth or a hacker... :-)

The only thing I can think of to improve the site's theme or navigation even more is to lighten-up the utter rightmost bar since I'm having trouble to read the contents due to the dark font-color on the dark background. If I want to read it I now select it with my pointer to get a lighter background....
But I can imagine that this is intended (also) because of the importance of the contents....

HTH...
